Oquvchini

O'quvchini is the definite direct object form of the Uzbek noun o'quvchi, meaning a person who studies, learns, or reads. The base noun o'quvchi denotes a student, pupil, or learner in a broad sense. In Uzbek grammar, the agentive suffix -chi creates words that mean “a person who does X,” and the definite direct object suffix -ni marks the object of a verb, producing o'quvchini when the student is the object of the action.

The term o'quvchi is widely used to refer to someone who studies in educational settings, from primary to secondary and beyond. The form o'quvchini appears specifically when the student is the object of the action in a sentence. For example: U o'quvchini ko'rdi = He saw the student. Men o'quvchini kutaman = I am waiting for the student.

O'quvchi is related to other terms that distinguish educational roles. Talaba refers to a student at a higher education level, such as a university student. Shogird refers to an apprentice or learner under a mentor or master. These terms can overlap in everyday use, but each carries a distinct nuance about the learner’s context and relationship to instruction.

In practice, the noun o'quvchi appears in both formal and informal Uzbek, and its declined form o'quvchini is used whenever the learner is the object of an action. Plurals follow the same pattern: o'quvchilar (nominative) and o'quvchilarni (definite accusative). See also o'quvchi, talaba, shogird.
